What chemical bond occurs when atoms lose gain or share electrons?
When atoms lose and gain electrons, an ionic bond will form. When atoms share electrons, a covalent bond will form.
Why do you think atoms lose electrons to or gain electrons from other atoms?
to become stable
When metals react with other elements do the atoms of the metals gain or lose?
Metals are likely to make anions. So they lose electrons to get a positive charge. The other elements gain electrons and get negatively charged.
Do metal atoms lose their electrons much more easily than nonmetal atoms?
Yes. Metals have lower electronegativities than nonmetals, and they tend to have fewer than four valence electrons, so they are more likely to lose electrons in order to achieve a noble gas configuration and become stable.
What does heat cause atoms to do?
it causes the atoms to lose their negative electrons
Is uranium more likely to lose or gain electrons?
Uranium loose electrons becoming a cation.
Are radioactive isotopes produced when atoms lose electrons?
When atoms lose electrons cations are produced.
When atoms lose or gain electrons they from?
When atoms lose or gain electrons, they form ions. These are charged particles.
What kind of atoms tend to lose atoms?
Metals lose electrons.
Do atoms lose protons but seldom lose or gain electrons?
Atoms typically do not lose protons because that would change the identity of the element. Instead, atoms can lose or gain electrons to form ions with a different charge. Protons are not generally lost by atoms in chemical reactions.
What chemical bond occurs when atoms lose gain or share electrons?
When atoms lose and gain electrons, an ionic bond will form. When atoms share electrons, a covalent bond will form.

Can atoms lose or gain atoms to form elements?
No. Atoms of an element lose or gain electrons to form ions.
Do atoms lose and gain electrons when a new substance is forming?
Some atoms lose electrons, some gain electrons, and some share electrons depending on what elements are involved and what compound is forming.
Do atoms join by a covalent bond do not gain or lose electrons?
Atoms that join by a covalent bond share electrons but do not gain or lose them. In a covalent bond, the electrons are shared between the atoms, creating a stable electron configuration for both atoms involved.
Do metal atoms lose their electrons much more easily than nonmetal atoms?
Yes. Metals have lower electronegativities than nonmetals, and they tend to have fewer than four valence electrons, so they are more likely to lose electrons in order to achieve a noble gas configuration and become stable.
